To all whom it may concern: 4

Be it known that I, IDA ScHoLz, a subject of the German Emperor, andresident of 2 Kirchstrasse, Altena, Westphalia, Germany, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements inApparatus for Drying Hair, ofwhich the followin is a specification.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for drying hair by meansof the heat of a hot water vessel from below and a hot air current fromabove. The invention consists in the current of air being sent through abody provided on the hot water vessel and here heated by ra: diationfrom said hot water vessel. 7 'The' invention isexemplified in the accompanying drawing in a constructional shaped long form.

Figure 1 is a perspective View of the apparatus. Fig. 2 is a side viewof the same. Fig. 3 is a section alongthe line A-B in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 isa vertical section along the line CD in Fig. 2.

The vessel a is intended to be filled with hot water and is for thispurpose provided at the side with a suitable cook or lug g for fillingand letting off the water. e upper side ofthe vessel a is made of atroughlike shape to adapt it to receive the hair. At the one side asemicylindrically or similarly hollow body d is secured, through whichair may be sent by means of a flexible tube 0 and a bellows b or thelike, while the apparatus is in. use. The air assing through this hollowbody d be heated therein and may be dimacted by means of a flexible tube0 against the hair in the trough of the vessel 0,. Preferabl thisPatented Sept. 3,1912

flexible tube 6 is fitted with a flat, road nozzle f, for the purpose ofdistributingthe emerging air over a greater area.

vBy the use of the present apparatus the hair will simultaneously beheated from above and below and therefore dried 'in a simple and rapidmanner.

Iclaim:- 1. Apparatus for drying hair comprising in combination-a hotwater vessel for drying the hair from below and asecond hollow vesseladjacent to said hot -water vessel,

means for driving a current of air through said second vessel, and meansfor directing the thereby heated current of air on the hair on saidwater vessel, substantially as set forth. 7 1

2." Apparatus for drying hair comprising in combination a hot watervessel having its upper side trough-like shaped for receiving the hair,a second hollow vessel of semi-cylindrical shape attached to said hotwater vessel, means for driving a current of air throu hsai'd secondvessel, and means forv directing the thereby heated current of air onthehair on said hot water vessel, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name this 12th day ofApril 1911,
